Streacom Reboots Line of Cases: Introduces Streacom Alpha

Based out of Holland, Streacom is a company that prides themselves with designing cases that are non-traditional and push the boundaries of HTPC ideas. Their latest announcement involves the release of their Alpha chassis line featuring higher precision extrusion, CNC and tolerances for all aluminum parts and improved anodizing process. The Alpha series also improves upon case-specific features from their previous line in what is effectively an overhaul of their current product offering. More information is available in the official press release below:

Streacom ALPHA is the culmination of a yearlong project to re-design, re-engineer, and refine all aspects of our computer chassis range, from production right through to the packaging. We scrutinized every single part, the smallest screw to the largest aluminium extrusion and asked a simple question …….. “If you could start from scratch, what would you change ?”

Make no mistake, whilst on the surface ALPHA cases may look almost identical, not a single part from any previous case has been re-utilized. More than just a product revision, it is a total reboot and lays the foundation for future product compatibility, expansion, and manufacturing processes.

With the unified internal design, all Alpha cases will be available with and without optical drives, so we are also introducing a naming change. Cases with optical drive openings will have the ‘Optical’ suffix, those without will simply carry the model name.

Whist every ALPHA case has its own unique set of changes compared with its predecessor, they all share the following upgraded features:

Higher precision extrusion, CNC and tolerances for all aluminium parts

New anodizing process with improved surface treatment which is more dust/mark resistant
